threat and horror
Mild scary scenes include ones in which a masked spirit swallows other characters whole, although they later emerge unharmed. A giant baby threatens to break a person's arm, but doesn't. A witch shoots flames from her mouth. However, the threat is counterbalanced by the main character's courage and resourcefulness, and the ending is reassuring.
language
There is very mild bad language, including 'butt' and 'jerk'.
dangerous behaviour
A young girl is bumped around in the backseat of a car while not wearing a seatbelt.
nudity
There is brief sight of a giant baby’s bare bottom.
injury detail
A dragon is found with cuts on its body, leaving blood splatter on walls as it flies erratically. Blood is also seen leaking from its mouth. However, it is subsequently healed with the use of magic.
alcohol and smoking
Adult characters smoke cigarettes.
